Get used to it because this has been the norm for a while.

Probably some newbie employees thinking that if the only way to get event cards is through buying games during the steam sale then maybe people will be more compelled to buy more games and as such bumping up the number of sales or something around those lines....

You only get cards now from buying games and munching full badges, i've had a badge ready to go for months and just got a card from it.

I'm not bothering with the discovery queue, i already have 3 pages of useless stickers i cant get rid of.

I'm still hoping Steam gets a inventory delete feature at some point.

Yea I wonder if someone upstream thinks that this is a good business decision or something?

I made a post the other day about this that got way out of hand, I suggested being able to munch them for 1 gem but it was shot down because stickers would then have value.

Then i said what about being able to bin them but then people said hackers would bin everything.

Why cant they just make it so ONLY stickers are binable?

Or at-least hide remove stickers from the inventory either by hiding them (so you don't need to filter them away) or moving them to a thrash bin from where they can be restored.

If they where tradable we could give them away. Why are stickers not tradable? It's fine that we can't sell them but if we could trade them the problem would go away.

The whole inventory system is a mess - there's no organisation which is made worse by the amount of stickers that can be earned these days. I suggested way back before even the pandemic, a feature where you could bin off unwanted untradable items using the authenticator for confirmation and still we have nothing. I still can't even sell items from 2017 because they fall off unsold and return back to me after a while and I then have to re-list. No advanced hide or anything either.

Stickers have made things so much worse and it would be so much better if we could just organise them. I can't believe that there isn't something like a sticker book/page for every event or time they are given away. Would make things look so much better and have some organisation at least.

I took one for the team and tried it out, it is stickers not cards

I have a feeling they may be planning on deprecating the whole trading card system.

But It's steam lumping it all together in the same app bucket.

The system works for in-game inventories, but for Steam is a sort of 'all in' container which originally only held game gifts, but now holds each and every new toy Steam comes up with.

Hood thing about Stickers is I barely use the chat, so I don't really feel like getting them anymore.
